Nestled along a fjord-like waterway embraced by forested mountains, discover one of the most beautiful and best-preserved medieval fortified towns of the eastern Mediterranean, and add some zip to the journey with a nip of traditional brandy. In the heart of magical Kotor, adorned in coral-tiled roofs, you will see the Cathedral of St. Tryphon dating to the 12th century, the relatively modern St. Nicholas Church, and the Maritime Museum housed inside the Baroque former palace of the Grgurina family. Part of the reason Kotor is a UNESCO World Heritage site is the three-mile loop of ancient defensive walls built into the surrounding mountains. As you explore within these walls, stop into a couple of local pubs to try different types of rakija, a traditional fruit brandy.
Explore the architecturally and scenically stunning Old Town of Kotor with stops at two local bars to taste authentic traditional brandies.
